Ritz-Carlton to put environmentally-friendly water bottles in hotel rooms {Gadling}
Jun 25th 2010 4:53PM LOVE this! I hope more hotels will follow suit. Travelers can pair this with some eco friendly luggage and it's even better!
Briggs & Riley luggage executives offer their travel packing tips {Gadling}
Jun 11th 2010 6:24PM I agree, Neal. Briggs pieces are sooo durable. The aircraft aluminum that is in the trolley handles is bust-proof for sure. And I love the newer 20" wide bodies that are great carry-on size for international travel.

Galley Gossip: Crew luggage, rolling vs folding & lifting heavy bags {Gadling}
May 18th 2010 1:07PM To help with wrinkling and organization, I use Eagle Creek Pack-its in my luggage. http://www.luggagepros.com/eagle-creek-pack-it-medium-protech-cube.shtml Clothes are folded flat and precisely. And you can just throw the packs in a drawer so you stay organized once you arrive at your destination.
Pedal-powered hotel in Denmark gives guests a reason to go green {Gadling}
Apr 22nd 2010 5:45PM This is awesome! I hope the program works out and is continued. I agree with you, Ashley; why aren't we making more of an effort to incorporate this technology into our every day lives? Would it take a significant investment in generators to store the electricity or to get it to the main grid that everyone draws from? Maybe we would need federal funds allocated for this??? At least we can use eco-friendly clothing and bags (http://www.luggagepros.com/sherpani-sport-lily-shopper-tote-bag.shtml) when we go to the gym for now.

Galley Gossip: The Best Women's Travel Writing 2010 - book giveaway! {Gadling}
Mar 30th 2010 6:15PM Travel Tips:
1) Do some research about where you are going before you go, so you can book some tours, boat rides hikes, etc. or at least know that they are available to seek out when you get there
2) Don't stress! Go vacationing without much of an agenda/expectation, except to have FUN! This will save a lot of headaches for yourself and others, I find.
Daily gear deals - $23 Kids luggage set, $20 headphones and more {Gadling}
Mar 15th 2010 1:00PM That American Tourister kid's luggage set is adorable! I am soon to be an aunt and am already a god-parent and I look forward to buying these types of pieces for a special kid. I have also seen some luggage that is even cuter than the Tourister bag because it is soft and fuzzy like a stuffed animal. It's made by Zebra Crossing. http://www.luggagepros.com/zebra-crossing-club-koala-backpack.shtml Might be for a slightly younger audience than the penguin luggage, but still oh so cute! http://www.luggagepros.com/zebra-crossing-club-zebra-wheeled-backpack.shtml
